|  |      4 | <H2>GroupTheory -- Group Theory using Locales, including Sylow's Theorem</H2>
 | 
|  |      5 | 
 | 
|  |      6 | <P>This directory presents proofs about group theory, by
 | 
|  |      7 | Florian Kammüller.  (Later, Larry Paulson simplified some of the proofs.)
 | 
|  |      8 | These theories use locales and were indeed the original motivation for
 | 
|  |      9 | locales.  However, this treatment of groups must still be regarded as
 | 
|  |     10 | experimental.  We can expect to see refinements in the future.
 | 
|  |     11 | 
 | 
|  |     12 | Here is an outline of the directory's contents:

 | 
|  |     14 | <UL> 
 | 
| 12254 |     15 | <LI>Theory <A HREF="Bij.html"><CODE>Bij</CODE></A>
 | 
| 11443 |     16 | defines bijections over sets and operations on them and shows that they
 | 
|  |     17 | are a group.
 | 
|  |     18 | 
 | 
| 12254 |     19 | <LI>Theory <A HREF="DirProd.html"><CODE>DirProd</CODE></A>
 | 
| 11443 |     20 | defines the product of two groups and proves that it is a group again.
 | 
|  |     21 | 
 | 
| 12254 |     22 | <LI>Theory <A HREF="FactGroup.html"><CODE>FactGroup</CODE></A>
 | 
| 11443 |     23 | defines the factorization of a group and shows that the factorization a
 | 
|  |     24 | normal subgroup is a group.
 | 
|  |     25 | 
 | 
| 12254 |     26 | <LI>Theory <A HREF="Homomorphism.html"><CODE>Homomorphism</CODE></A>
 | 
| 11443 |     27 | defines homomorphims and automorphisms for groups and rings and shows that
 | 
|  |     28 | ring automorphisms are a group by using the previous result for
 | 
|  |     29 | bijections.
 | 
|  |     30 | 
 | 
| 12254 |     31 | <LI>Theory <A HREF="Ring.html"><CODE>Ring</CODE></A>
 | 
|  |     32 | and <A HREF="RingConstr.html"><CODE>RingConstr</CODE></A>
 | 
| 11443 |     33 | defines rings, proves a few basic theorems and constructs a lambda
 | 
|  |     34 | function to extract the group that is part of the ring showing that it is
 | 
|  |     35 | an abelian group. 
 | 
|  |     36 | 
 | 
| 12254 |     37 | <LI>Theory <A HREF="Sylow.html"><CODE>Sylow</CODE></A>
 | 
| 11443 |     38 | contains a proof of the first Sylow theorem.
